I want to know how he got that center shaft out of the machine head. And more to the point how he got it back in. There was a reference to it in the comments section but more detailed instructions would have been helpful.

It even penetrates mechanisms to displace trapped, gritty grime and free sticky, rusted, or corroded mechanisms. Do any of you have any comments about the product so I can decide if I need to return it and find good old sewing machine oil?
Gun enthusiasts encourage owners to only use any chemicals for guns only on guns. Whatever the subject is use what the machine calls for. Just like canned air don't use it on a sewing machine. I use a nylon knee high sock or any piece of loose weave fabric and put it on the end of a vacuum hose to clean my machine. It catches small pieces of non lint such as small wayward screws or pieces of needles or pins.

If you go back to the beginning she does a very detailed tear down. I just wish she would have finished the process, she was doing a very good job.
